There’s no ‘allegedly’ about it! He stuck his finger up at a fan that called him useless.

Just noticed he has liked an an instagram post that were mocking Haaland's football ability. A bit weird

Can West Ham cut his loan short. Been a disastrous spell for him down south?

He doesn't come across as being the brightest, after the stuff in the press when he went to West Ham.
Saying that, he's rich as fuck and might not give a shit.
Assuming no add ons have been activated, we paid £42m for him on a 6 year deal.
It's all well and good City saying they're willing to take £30m for him but who is going to pay that? They also need to factor in that he's got 4 years left on massive wages. That's going to impact the selling price.
It hasn't worked out at City and nothing about his time at West Ham suggests he is likely to return to his best any time soon. We're not talking about a young player here either.
The only team I can imagine being willing to take some kind of punt on him at a half decent fee for us is Leeds if they get promoted. But even then it's a risk as he won't be playing under Bielsa there any more.
Think Leeds would be daft to offer £30m for him (which would represent a £2m account profit for us). Our own manager has quite publicly admitted that signing him was a mistake and he has no future here. I'd be offering £20m max and City will face the choice of taking an £8m accounting loss or lose nearly £15m in amortisation and wages by keeping him another year and not using him. Our negotiating position is about as weak as it gets.

We ain't getting anywhere near 30m for him with that contract, it will end up a token fee and the buying club taking on his contract.
And fans will complain that we've had our pants pulled down as though it's the responsibility of a smaller club to bail us out of the situation we've found ourselves in
Why would anyone want to pay anything for him. I could see a free transfer and like you say the new club picking up his wages. I fear Nunes will be the same in another 12 months
